TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, a terminal device, and a cloud server for presenting schedule reminder information.

BACKGROUND

Schedule application software is generally installed on a terminal device. Using the schedule application software, schedule setting and schedule reminder functions may be implemented such that a terminal user arranges and handles tedious daily matters. With popularization of terminal devices especially mobile terminals, everyone may use multiple mobile terminals (for example, mobile phones and tablet computers) at the same time. When a terminal user completes a schedule setting on a mobile terminal, the schedule setting may be synchronized to another terminal device that is associated with the terminal user such that the terminal user may receive a schedule reminder regardless of which terminal device is used.

Some terminal devices may be shared by multiple users, for example, a tablet computer, a set top box, and a smart television set may be shared by multiple terminal users A, B, and C. If the terminal user A sets a schedule reminder on a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile phone, but the schedule setting of the terminal user A is not synchronized to these shared terminal devices, the terminal user A cannot obtain the schedule reminder when using these shared terminal devices, however, if the schedule setting of the terminal user A is synchronized to these shared terminal devices, when another terminal user, another terminal user, for example, the terminal user B or the terminal user C, receives the schedule reminder of the terminal user A when using these shared terminal devices, which causes interference to the another user. In this case, the terminal device cannot implement intelligent interaction with the user, and a transaction processing capability of the terminal device is lowered.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To enable a person skilled in the art to better understand technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure, and make the foregoing purposes, features, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer and more comprehensible, the following describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to accompanying drawings.

The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for a purpose of describing a specific embodiment, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms “a” and “the” of singular forms used in the embodiments and the appended claims of the present disclosure are also intended to include plural forms, unless otherwise specified in a context clearly. It should also be understood that, the term “and/or” used herein indicates and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

It should be understood that although terms “first”, “second”, “third” and the like may be used in the embodiments of the present disclosure to describe various information, the information is not limited by the terms. These terms are used merely to differentiate information of a same type. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first biometric characteristic information may also be referred to as second biometric characteristic information, and similarly the second biometric characteristic information may also be referred to as the first biometric characteristic information.

Depending on the context, as used herein, the word “if” may be construed as “at the time of . . . ” or “when . . . ” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting”. Similarly, depending on the context, the phrase “if it is determined” may be construed as “when determining” or “in response to determining”.

Refer to FIG. 1A, which is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for presenting schedule reminder information according to the present disclosure. This embodiment describes a process of presenting schedule reminder information from a perspective of a second terminal side, which serves as a shared terminal that is logged in to using a group account.

Step 101: A second terminal logs in to a cloud server using a first group account.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the group account is an account shared by multiple users, for example, users A, B, and C may all log in to the second terminal using the first group account.

Step 102: The second terminal acquires schedule information stored in the cloud server, where the schedule information is information that is created by a first user who registers a first personal account and is transmitted to the cloud server by a first terminal that logs in, using the first personal account, to the cloud server, and the first personal account is associated with the first group account.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a personal account is an account that is uniquely used by a user who creates the personal account. To ensure that an account is uniquely used by a user, the account may be biometric characteristic information of the user, for example, a face image, fingerprint information, voiceprint information, and the like of the user.

Step 103: When reminder time of the schedule information arrives, the second terminal acquires second biometric characteristic information of a second user who is currently using the second terminal.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the second terminal may acquire the second biometric characteristic information of the second user in real time when the reminder time of the schedule information arrives, the second terminal may also store the second biometric characteristic information of the second user when the second user uses the second terminal for the first time, and acquire the stored second biometric characteristic information when the reminder time of the schedule information arrives.

Step 104: The second terminal presents reminder information of the schedule information when it is determined that the second biometric characteristic information is the same as first biometric characteristic information of the first user.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the second terminal may present the reminder information of the schedule information in multiple manners. For example, when detecting that a user is viewing a screen of the second terminal (e.g., whether a user is viewing a screen of the second terminal may be determined based on whether a face image of the user is photographed by a camera), the second terminal displays the reminder information of the schedule information in a specified position of the screen. For another example, when detecting that a user is holding the second terminal with a hand (e.g., a fingerprint reader that is set in the second terminal may be used to detect whether a user is holding the second terminal with a hand), the second terminal plays the reminder information of the schedule information using a speaker of the second terminal. It should be noted that, the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to the foregoing manners of presenting reminder information.

In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the following may occur.

After logging in to the cloud server using the first group account, the second terminal may acquire the first biometric characteristic information that is transmitted by the cloud server and corresponds to the first personal account, and after acquiring the schedule information stored in the cloud server, the second terminal stores a correspondence between the first biometric characteristic information and the schedule information. Accordingly, the second terminal may search for the stored correspondence, obtain the first biometric characteristic information corresponding to the schedule information, identify whether the second biometric characteristic information of the second user is the same as the first biometric characteristic information, and when an identification result is that the second biometric characteristic information is the same as the first biometric characteristic information, present the reminder information of the schedule information.

In another optional implementation manner of this embodiment, the following may occur.

After acquiring the schedule information stored in the cloud server, the second terminal may store a correspondence between the first personal account and the schedule information. When the reminder time of the schedule information arrives, the second terminal may search for the stored correspondence, obtain the first personal account corresponding to the schedule information, and after acquiring the second biometric characteristic information of the second user who is using the second terminal, send the first personal account and the second biometric characteristic information to the cloud server. Accordingly, the second terminal may receive an identification result returned by the cloud server, where the identification result is an identification result obtained by the cloud server by identifying whether the second biometric characteristic information is the same as the first biometric characteristic information after acquiring, according to a stored correspondence between biometric characteristic information and a personal account, the first biometric characteristic information corresponding to the first personal account, and when the identification result is that the second biometric characteristic information is the same as the first biometric characteristic information, present the reminder information of the schedule information.

Further, when it is determined that the second biometric characteristic information is different from the first biometric characteristic information of the first user, the second terminal may ignore the reminder information of the schedule information, that is, does not present the reminder information.

It can be learned from the foregoing embodiment that, in this embodiment, schedule information of a personal user may be synchronized to a shared terminal that is logged in to using a group account such that the personal user may obtain reminder information of the schedule information when using the shared terminal. In addition, the shared terminal does not directly present the reminder information when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, but presents the reminder information only when it is identified that the user who is using the shared terminal and a user who creates the schedule information are the same user. Therefore, no interference is caused to another user who uses the shared terminal, intelligent interaction between a terminal device and a user is implemented, and a transaction processing capability of the terminal device is improved.

Refer to FIG. 1B, which is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for presenting schedule reminder information according to the present disclosure. This embodiment is described from a perspective of a server side.

Step 111: After a first terminal logs in to a cloud server using a first personal account, the cloud server acquires schedule information transmitted by the first terminal, where the schedule information is created by a first user.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a personal account is an account that is uniquely used by a user who creates the personal account. To ensure that an account is uniquely used by a user, the account may be biometric characteristic information of the user, for example, a face image, fingerprint information, voiceprint information, and the like of the user.

Step 112: After a second terminal logs in to the cloud server using a first group account, the cloud server determines, according to a correspondence between a personal account and a group account, that the first group account is associated with the first personal account.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a group account is an account shared by multiple users, for example, users A, B, and C may all log in to the second terminal using the first group account.

Step 113: The cloud server transmits the schedule information to the second terminal such that the second terminal acquires, when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, second biometric characteristic information of a second user who is currently using the second terminal, and when it is determined that the second biometric characteristic information is the same as first biometric characteristic information of the first user, presents reminder information of the schedule information.

It can be learned from the foregoing embodiment that, in this embodiment, schedule information of a personal user may be synchronized to a shared terminal that is logged in to using a group account such that the personal user may obtain reminder information of the schedule information when using the shared terminal. In addition, the shared terminal does not directly present the reminder information when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, but presents the reminder information only when it is identified that the user who is using the shared terminal and a user who creates the schedule information are the same user. Therefore, no interference is caused to another user who uses the shared terminal, intelligent interaction between a terminal device and a user is implemented, and a transaction processing capability of the terminal device is improved.

Refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of an application architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The application architecture in FIG. 2 includes a cloud account server, a cloud synchronization server, and N terminal devices that separately connect to the cloud account server and the cloud synchronization server, which are recorded as terminal device 1, terminal device 2, . . . , terminal device N, where N is a natural number greater than 2. It should be noted that, in FIG. 2, to divide server functions, servers are divided into a cloud account server and a cloud synchronization server. In an actual application, the foregoing two functions may also be integrated into one cloud server, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

A terminal device in FIG. 2 mainly refers to various intelligent terminals that have a communication function, for example, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, and the like. Each terminal device includes an account management module that communicates with the cloud account server, a synchronization application module that communicates with the cloud synchronization server, a face recognizing module, and a schedule management module that communicates with each of the foregoing three modules. The account management module is configured to log in to the cloud account server using a personal account or a group account that is registered by a user. The schedule management module is configured to create schedule information of a user who registers a personal account when the account management module logs in to the cloud account server using the personal account. The synchronization application module is configured to transmit the schedule information created by the schedule management module to the cloud synchronization server, or receive schedule information that is transmitted by the synchronization application module of another terminal device to the cloud synchronization server and transmitted from the cloud synchronization server, and transmit the received schedule information to the schedule management module. The schedule management module is further configured to, when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, directly present reminder information of the schedule information if a query result of a query to the account management module is that a personal account is used for login, and trigger the face recognizing module if the query result of the query to the account management module is that a group account is used for login. The face recognizing module is configured to identify facial information of a user who is using the terminal device, present the reminder information of the schedule information if the facial information of the user who is using the terminal device is the same as facial information of the user who creates the schedule information, and not present the reminder information of the schedule information if the facial information of the user who is using the terminal device is different from the facial information of the user who creates the schedule information.

It should be noted that, a face recognizing module is set in the terminal device in FIG. 2, that is, biometric characteristic information of an application in FIG. 2 is facial information. In an actual application, a voiceprint recognizing module or a fingerprint recognizing module may also be set according to a difference of biometric characteristic information, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for presenting schedule reminder information according to the present disclosure. In this embodiment, a shared terminal determines, using locally downloaded facial information, whether to present schedule reminder information.

Step 301: A cloud server stores a personal account and a group account that are created by a user and a correspondence between a personal account and a group account, where each group account is associated with at least one personal account.

With reference to FIG. 2, it is assumed that the user creates a first personal account PrivateAccount1 and a first group account GroupAccount1, and adds PrivateAccount1 to GroupAccount1. At this time, PrivateAccount1 is associated with GroupAccount1 and the cloud server records the foregoing correspondence. A terminal that logs in to the cloud server using a personal account may be referred to as a personal terminal, and a terminal that logs in to the cloud server using a group account may be referred to as a shared terminal. In this embodiment, because the correspondence between a personal account and a group account is recorded, when the cloud server is logged in to using a group account, it is equivalent to that the cloud server is logged in to using all personal accounts that are associated with the group account.

Step 302: The cloud server stores a correspondence between facial information of the user who creates the personal account and the personal account.

In this embodiment, when the user creates the personal account on the cloud server using a terminal, a camera that is set on the terminal may be used to capture facial information of the user and send the facial information to the cloud server, and the cloud server stores the correspondence between the personal account created by the user and the facial information of the user.

Step 303: Terminal 1 logs in to the cloud server using a first personal account, and terminal 2 logs in to the cloud server using a first group account.

With reference to FIG. 2, it is assumed that user 1 logs in to the cloud server from terminal 1 using the first personal account PrivateAccount1, and user 2 logs in to the cloud server from terminal 2 using the first group account GroupAccount1.

Step 304: When the first personal account is associated with the first group account, the cloud server downloads first facial information of user 1 that creates the first personal account to terminal 2.

In this embodiment, after terminal 1 and terminal 2 separately log in to the cloud server, the cloud server determines, by searching for the correspondence between a personal account and a group account, that the first personal account PrivateAccount1 is associated with the first group account GroupAccount1. In this case, the cloud server searches for the correspondence between the facial information and the personal account, obtains the first facial information that is of user 1 and corresponds to PrivateAccount1, and downloads the first facial information of user 1 to terminal 2. Terminal 2 may store a correspondence between the downloaded first facial information and PrivateAccount1. It should be noted that, when multiple other personal accounts that are associated with GroupAccount1 also log in to the cloud server, the cloud server may also download facial information corresponding to these personal accounts to terminal 2 accordingly such that terminal 2 stores a correspondence between each personal account that is associated with GroupAccount1 and has logged in to the cloud server and the facial information.

Step 305: After storing schedule information created by user 1, terminal 1 synchronizes the schedule information to the cloud server.

It is assumed that user 1 creates the schedule information on terminal 1 using a schedule management module of terminal 1 and user 1 enables a schedule synchronization function on terminal 1, then terminal 1 may synchronize the schedule information created by user 1 to the cloud server.

Step 306: The cloud server searches for the correspondence between a personal account and a group account and learns that a group account to which the first personal account belongs is the first group account.

In this embodiment, after the cloud server receives the schedule information synchronized by terminal 1, because terminal 1 logs in to the cloud server using the first personal account PrivateAccount1, the cloud server may learn, by searching for the correspondence between a personal account and a group account, that a group account associated with PrivateAccout1 is GroupAccount1.

Step 307: The cloud server synchronizes the schedule information to terminal 2 that logs in to the cloud server using the first group account.

After learning that the group account associated with PrivateAccount1 is the first group account GroupAccount1, the cloud server may synchronize the schedule information to all terminals that log in to the cloud server using GroupAccount1. In this embodiment, the cloud server synchronizes the schedule information to terminal 2 that logs in to the cloud server using GroupAccount1, and terminal 2 stores a correspondence between the schedule information and the first personal account PrivateAccount1.

Step 308: When reminder time of the schedule information arrives, terminal 2 acquires the first facial information of user 1 who creates the schedule information.

In this embodiment, when the reminder time of the schedule information that is synchronized by terminal 2 arrives, terminal 2, serving as a shared terminal, does not directly present the reminder information. Instead, terminal 2 obtains, using the correspondence between the schedule information and the personal account, the first personal account PrivateAccount1 that creates the schedule information, and obtains, using the correspondence between the personal account and facial information, the facial information that is of user 1 and corresponds to the first personal account PrivateAccount1.

In addition, when reminder time of the schedule information on terminal 1 arrives, because terminal 1 logs in to the cloud server using the personal account PrivateAccount1, terminal 1 may directly present the reminder information of the schedule information to user 1.

Step 309: When identifying, according to second facial information of user 2 who is using terminal 2 and the first facial information, that user 2 and user 1 are the same, terminal 2 presents reminder information of the schedule information.

In this embodiment, terminal 2 may capture, using a set camera, the second facial information of user 2 who is using terminal 2, and then identifies, using an existing image recognition technology, whether the second facial information is the same as the first facial information. If the second facial information is the same as the first facial information, it indicates that user 2 and user 1 are the same user and, in this case, terminal 2 may present the reminder information of the schedule information. If the second facial information is different from the first facial information, it indicates that user 2 and user 1 are not the same user and, in this case, terminal 2 may not present the schedule reminder information of the schedule information.

Terminal 2 may present the reminder information of the schedule information in multiple manners. For example, when detecting that a user is viewing a screen of terminal 2 (e.g., whether a user is viewing a screen of terminal 2 may be determined based on whether a face image of the user is photographed by a camera), terminal 2 displays the reminder information of the schedule information in a specified position of the screen. For another example, when detecting that a user is holding terminal 2 with a hand (e.g., a fingerprint reader that is set in terminal 2 may be used to detect whether a user is holding terminal 2 with a hand), terminal 2 plays the reminder information of the schedule information using a speaker of terminal 2. It should be noted that, the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to the foregoing manners of presenting reminder information.

It can be learned from the foregoing embodiment that, in this embodiment, schedule information of a personal user may be synchronized to a shared terminal that is logged in to using a group account such that the personal user may obtain reminder information of the schedule information when using the shared terminal. In addition, the shared terminal does not directly present the reminder information when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, but presents the reminder information only when it is identified that the user who is using the shared terminal and a user who creates the schedule information are the same user. Therefore, no interference is caused to another user who uses the shared terminal, intelligent interaction between a terminal device and a user is implemented, and a transaction processing capability of the terminal device is improved.

Refer to FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for presenting schedule reminder information according to the present disclosure. In this embodiment, a shared terminal determines, according to an identification result of facial information by a cloud server, whether to present a schedule reminder.

Step 401: The cloud server stores a personal account and a group account that are created by a user and a correspondence between a personal account and a group account, where each group account is associated with at least one personal account.

With reference to FIG. 2, it is assumed that the user creates a first personal account PrivateAccount1 and a first group account GroupAccount1, and adds PrivateAccount1 to GroupAccount1. At this time, PrivateAccount1 is associated with GroupAccount1 and the cloud server records the foregoing correspondence. A terminal that logs in to the cloud server using a personal account may be referred to as a personal terminal, and a terminal that logs in to the cloud server using a group account may be referred to as a shared terminal. In this embodiment, because the correspondence between a personal account and a group account is recorded, when the cloud server is logged in to using a group account, it is equivalent to that the cloud server is logged in to using all personal accounts that are associated with the group account.

Step 402: The cloud server stores a correspondence between facial information of the user who creates the personal account and the personal account.

In this embodiment, when the user creates the personal account on the cloud server using a terminal, a camera that is set on the terminal may be used to capture facial information of the user and send the facial information to the cloud server, and the cloud server stores the correspondence between the personal account created by the user and the facial information of the user.

Step 403: Terminal 1 logs in to the cloud server using a first personal account, and terminal 2 logs in to the cloud server using a first group account.

With reference to FIG. 2, it is assumed that user 1 logs in to the cloud server from terminal 1 using the first personal account PrivateAccount1, and user 2 logs in to the cloud server from terminal 2 using the first group account GroupAccount1.

Step 404: After storing schedule information created by user 1, terminal 1 synchronizes the schedule information to the cloud server.

It is assumed that user 1 creates the schedule information on terminal 1 using a schedule management module of terminal 1 and user 1 enables a schedule synchronization function on terminal 1, then terminal 1 may synchronize, using a synchronization application module, the schedule information created by user 1 to the cloud server.

Step 405: The cloud server searches for the correspondence between a personal account and a group account and learns that a group account to which the first personal account belongs is the first group account.

In this embodiment, after the cloud server receives the schedule information synchronized by terminal 1, because terminal 1 logs in to the cloud server using the first personal account PrivateAccount1, the cloud server may learn, by searching for the correspondence between a personal account and a group account, that a group account associated with PrivateAccount1 is GroupAccount1.

Step 406: The cloud server synchronizes the schedule information to terminal 2 that logs in to the cloud server using the first group account.

After learning that the group account associated with PrivateAccount1 is the first group account GroupAccount1, the cloud server may synchronize the schedule information to all terminals that log in to the cloud server using GroupAccount1. In this embodiment, the cloud server synchronizes the schedule information to terminal 2 that logs in to the cloud server using GroupAccount1, and terminal 2 stores a correspondence between the schedule information and the first personal account PrivateAccount1.

Step 407: When reminder time of the schedule information arrives, terminal 2 transmits second facial information of user 2 who is using terminal 2 and the first personal account of user 1 who creates the schedule information to the cloud server.

In this embodiment, when the reminder time of the schedule information that is synchronized by terminal 2 arrives, terminal 2, serving as a shared terminal, does not directly present the reminder information. Instead, terminal 2 captures, using a set camera, the second facial information of user 2 who is using terminal 2, and obtains, using the correspondence between the schedule information and the personal account, the first personal account PrivateAccount1 that creates the schedule information. Then terminal 2 transmits the second facial information and PrivateAccount1 to the cloud server.

Step 408: The cloud server searches for first facial information according to the first personal account.

After receiving the second facial information and PrivateAccount1, the cloud server obtains, by searching for the correspondence between facial information and the personal account, the first facial information that is of user 1 and corresponds to PrivateAccount1.

Step 409: The cloud server identifies, according to the second facial information and the first facial information, whether user 2 and user 1 are the same, and transmits an identification result to the terminal 2.

In this embodiment, the cloud server may identify, using an existing image recognition technology, whether the second facial information is the same as the first facial information, and transmit the identification result to the second terminal.

Step 410: When the identification result is that the user 2 and the user 1 are the same, terminal 2 presents reminder information of the schedule information.

After receiving the identification result, terminal 2 checks the identification result. If the identification result is that the second facial information is the same as the first facial information, it indicates that user 2 and user 1 are the same user and, in this case, terminal 2 may present the reminder information of the schedule information. If the second facial information is different from the first facial information, it indicates that user 2 and user 1 are not the same user and, in this case, terminal 2 may not present the schedule reminder information.

Terminal 2 may present the reminder information of the schedule information in multiple manners. For example, when detecting that a user is viewing a screen of terminal 2 (e.g., whether a user is viewing a screen of terminal 2 may be determined based on whether a face image of the user is photographed by a camera), terminal 2 displays the reminder information of the schedule information in a specified position of the screen. For another example, when detecting that a user is holding terminal 2 with a hand (e.g., a fingerprint reader that is set in terminal 2 may be used to detect whether a user is holding terminal 2 with a hand), terminal 2 plays the reminder information of the schedule information using a speaker of terminal 2. It should be noted that, the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to the foregoing manners of presenting reminder information.

It can be learned from the foregoing embodiment that, in this embodiment, schedule information of a personal user may be synchronized to a shared terminal that is logged in to using a group account such that the personal user may obtain reminder information of the schedule information when using the shared terminal. In addition, the shared terminal does not directly present the reminder information when reminder time of the schedule information arrives, but presents the reminder information only when it is identified that the user who is using the shared terminal and a user who creates the schedule information are the same user. Therefore, no interference is caused to another user who uses the shared terminal, intelligent interaction between a terminal device and a user is implemented, and a transaction processing capability of the terminal device is improved.
